About
Hear two works of stirring power that transform protest into orchestral sound-worlds: Gabriela Ortiz’ Revolución diamantina and Shostakovich’s 11th Symphony. The incredible force of 160 young musicians takes us from Mexico to Russia, from the 2019 Glitter Revolution to the Russian Revolution of 1905. Experience a movement for change in Gabriela Ortiz’ Grammy Award-winning Revolución diamantina , inspired by real-life protests demanding an end to violence against women in Mexico. Ortiz’ music transforms the urgency of these protests into a powerful orchestral sound-world, filled with driving rhythms and explosive energy.
